I’m having a hard time keeping up with this blog. I generally enjoy it, I love that it has become a visual scrapbook of sorts for my life, but I feel as though it has no voice.
I think part of the reason for this is that these hobby type things – decorating, being artsy, etc., are all things that are not natural to me. I am not a hobbyist. I’m more of a people person. And that was part of the point originally – have a place to go where I can explore new things, be more physically creative – except that no one explores new things constantly, and that is why I have an empty blog much of the time.
I guess the next question is – what should I do about this? Do I change the purpose of the blog? And if I do, how? Just.. jump in? Do a visual change? Maybe I don’t change the purpose as much as just making it a catch-all personal blog?
Now, don’t get me wrong, I do still want a visual scrapbook. Definitely. It would remain a vital part. In fact, I intent to bring back postcards and snail mail days. It’s just that this isn’t enough.
I’ve already tried inserting a bit of my daily life in among the photos, but I find it.. stilted? Awkward? I am not one to discuss my daily life much.. I prefer discussing ideas and concepts.. which honestly, is my daily life.
I once changed this site before – I used to write more political and religious things – but it would not go that direction again most likely. That’s not really what I want either. And I don’t forsee that kind of drastic change either.
I don’t really have a conclusion to this – perhaps I will just try it on and see where it goes. It might mean less visual posts though. But I think even when I write something like this, I will try to include something visual – it just looks nice and appeals to me.
What do you think? Talk to me. Brainstorm with me.
